I had a similar experience from India, with similar bandwidth on average
(<100kB/s). It took a lot of patience to install Guix! :p
I haven't been to Asia recently, but I'm glad to hear it's getting
better!
Indeed, such a low bandwidth could be prohibitive to the adoption of
Guix outside Europe.

That'd be fantastic!
